Zuo Lifan nodded seriously. Only then did the empress dowager call out, "Someone, come!"

Little Shun Zi walked in softly. "What orders does the empress dowager have?"

"Hurry to the Prime Minister's Estate and announce that Yao Sisi has come alone. There is no mistake."

"Yes!" Little Shun Zi quickly withdrew and instructed the servants at the entrance to wait on him while he departed …

"Yao Sisi is here to meet you."

"Announce!"

Yao Sisi walked into the palace and bowed politely towards the three. "This subject's daughter, Sisi, pays her respects to the empress dowager, the emperor, and the fourth prince." The empress dowager looked kindly at Yao Sisi and waved her hands. "Stand up." Do you know why This Dowager summoned you here this time? "

Yao Sisi stood up and replied, "Your servant dares to speculate that the Fourth Prince entered the palace to recite a poem that this official's daughter couldn't have done." The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Yao Sisi's reply. She signalled to the servants beside her, then went to move a stool over for her to sit down.

"This Dowager wants to know if you can compose poems or not?"

Yao Sisi smiled slightly and shifted her gaze to Zuo Rulan Fan. "Naturally, I will do it." "The empress dowager was rather interested and wanted to ask, but the emperor beat her to it." I would like to know your two sentences, looking up at the moonlight, uncle looking at the moon. Is it considered a poem? "

However, she said, "Your majesty, don't blame me for saying that this is a joke between this subject and the Fourth Prince. At that time, I thought that writing poems was too boring, so I casually said a few sentences, but I also mentioned the characters, scenery, and movements, but from the looks of it, it didn't count as a poem."

"Oh!" Since that's the case, how about you write a poem now? " He would ask at any time, but there was an order that could not be resisted.

Yao Sisi didn't care and said slowly, "Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, then this subject will be disgracing herself. "If things aren't good, then I ask the empress dowager, emperor, and fourth prince not to blame me. I wonder if the fourth prince is willing to fulfill his promise and give me a request?"

Zuo Rulan wanted to quickly see Yao Sisi make a fool of herself. She didn't think much of it and said, "If your poems are better than mine, then this king will agree to one of your requests." Yao Sisi smiled in satisfaction. "I ask the empress dowager and the emperor to bear witness for this subject's daughter."

"This Dowager agrees."

"I am also willing to bear witness." The Empress Dowager and the Emperor both nodded. Only then did Yao Sisi stand up and say, The poem written by the Fourth Prince is: snow-colored hidden tall trees, the river does not reach the sky.

The moon shone brightly on the tall building as the light lingered.

The poem by my daughter is as follows: Moonlight by the window, suspected is frost on the ground.

He looked up at the bright moon and lowered his head to think about his hometown.

Zuo Ruping was stunned, while the empress dowager looked at Yao Sisi with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. "Good poem, it's really a good poem."

Yao Sisi accepted the compliment without the slightest modesty, not forgetting to demonstrate to Zuo Ruping, "Your Highness, do you remember that you owe this subject and this woman a request?"

Zuo Ruping would rather believe that Yao Sisi had consulted her backer at the last minute than to believe that he had been fooled by Yao Sisi. With a depressed mood, she excused herself and left without looking back. Meanwhile, Yao Sisi was left by the empress dowager for lunch. Looking at her royal brother who had gone on a rampage, Zuo Ruyi couldn't bear to see that. She also left her seat and followed closely behind him.

After three days had passed, Yao Sisi still couldn't help but smile when she thought of Zuo Rulan Fan going on a rampage. Yesterday, the Prime Minister's father had already brought back two thousand jin of ice. She had already told Zhang Zhang to send someone to take half of it away.

Not long ago, Zhang Dang came over and told her that the car he had asked him to take to the carpenter's had been built. She was in a very good mood and planned to go to the beggar's nest after lunch. He would officially supervise the production of the ice-cold watermelon.

After preparing the ice vat, she put the watermelon into the vat and buried it in the ice. After waiting for less than an hour, Yao Sisi took out the watermelon and placed it on the meat slab. She cut the watermelon in half, then cut it into four pieces.

After they cut the watermelon, everyone took turns to take a bite. Everyone expressed that the processed watermelon was very refreshing and thirsty; it was very tasty. They were originally not optimistic about the price of the frozen watermelon, but now that they had eaten it, they were all full of energy and were eager to give it a try.

Yao Sisi didn't want to hurt their self-confidence, so she let everyone try to prepare the melon according to the law. After cutting twenty melon, everyone started eating their fill, pushing the large vat of ice cubes and watermelon towards the place Yao Sisi had prepared for them.

Half a thousand pounds of ice cubes were used up just like that. Yao Sisi looked at the helpless Zhang Chang and comforted, "Don't worry Zhang Zhang Zhang, I've already written to my second brother a few days ago to bring back more ice cubes from the outside. "When the watermelon makes money this time, you can move some shops on the street. We have to take over the market share as fast as possible, which is to say, seize the initiative."

Zhang Zhang's eyes lit up as he heard Yao Sisi's explanation. He felt even more respect for her, and even more admiration for her.

Yao Sisi and Yuanbao sat in the beggar's room for a while before heading back to the Prime Minister's Estate. After Yao Sisi returned home, she instructed Yuanbao to bring her some charcoal and paper. After she had drawn the zodiac, she drew the big boy on the card. There were exactly forty pieces of paper, and each piece of paper was filled with current sketches.

It was already dark by the time she finished drawing. Yao Sisi put the fourteen pieces of paper into an envelope and called for Yuanbao, "Hand this letter to Shadow tomorrow morning and have him deliver it to Fourth Prince Zuo Rulan Fan."

"Miss, what is the use of this?" Yuanbao could tell that his young miss didn't like the Fourth Marquis, so this definitely wasn't a love letter.

"Don't ask any more questions, just send them to her." Yao Sisi was tired from her drawing and no longer wanted to explain things to Yuanbao. She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of green vegetable porridge and fell asleep.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the capital produced a group of hawkers selling ice-cold watermelon. These hawkers were spread out across various streets and wore the same set of clothes. It was truly a spectacular sight. My wife thought she had run into a ghost! "

Passerby B said, "I even saw him. Don't say that the watermelon is delicious and cheap."

Passerby C took over the topic and said, "Is that so? I also want to go and have a taste some other day."

In short, in just a single day, this Ice Watermelon was already known to the common people of the capital. In addition, there were many people who expressed that they wanted to have a taste. At this moment, Yao Sisi was still drooling on the bed. Yuanbao quickly ran in and shouted, "Young miss, young miss, good news!"

"What good news?" Can't you wait for me to wake up? " Yao Sisi answered in a daze without even opening her eyes.

Yuan Bao was in an excited mood. He didn't have time to worry about Yao Sisi's lack of sleep as he only wanted to tell her the good news. Yuanbao began to harass Yao Sisi again and again.

"Origin treasure!" You get out of here, and if you mess with me again, I'll deduct your wages. Did you hear that? "

Yuan Bao took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Young miss has finished withholding the Yuan Treasure, there are no complaints from the Yuan Treasure." Yuan Bao had known about Yao Sisi's temper since he started interacting with her. Naturally, he was immune to her obsession with getting up from the bed.

Yao Sisi pulled a long face. If she had known earlier, she would not have changed her ingot. Unfortunately, it was already too late. She could only sit up with her hair as messy as a chicken's nest. Her eyes were unfocused as she muttered in dissatisfaction, "What kind of good news is it?" "Tell me quickly."

"Miss, Uncle Zhang said that our iced watermelon earned three hundred silver taels in one day."
